it’s monday, november 22, & moon is in gemini, in the starspace called ardra. gemini vibrates with the frequency of mental curiosity, of expanding our knowledge base, creating new brain synapses. in the environment of gemini we want to explore new interests, gather information, the more the better, & then use our discriminating intelligence to unpack the info to see what resonates so we can form opinions about it or explore further. & mercury-ruled gemini wants to share what’s gleaned, b/c mercury is a fun guy & talking about ideas with others is his idea of fun.
“a mind expanding to a new idea never returns to its original size.” — albert einstein
notice what lights up your brain, how you are being invited to stretch yourself intellectually or creatively. yeah, mercury is flexible, swings both ways—instigates activity in both left hemisphere of brain & right.
ardra is ruled by rudra, the stormy, primordial form of shiva. if you know anything about shiva, you know that he is the transformer, which is a nice way of saying that he helps us evolve, move on, by destroying what was. but nothing lost, nothing gained. one door has to close before another can open. ardra brings the lesson that just as the sun always comes out after the rain, & the world looks brighter, cleaner, we too feel purified, brighter inside, cleansed, after we embrace challenges, shed a few tears.
it’s the third lunar day, the third phase of the waning moon, which aligns well with the energy of gemini, b/c it supports flexibility, open-mindedness, our ability to pivot, switch gears, try a different way, go in a different direction. how might that support serve you today?
monday is infused with the special sauce of the moon, our feeling nature, our ability to connect heart-to-heart with others. both jupiter (planet of hope/optimism) & venus (planet of love) are aspecting moon today, which should help to balance any sadness ardra may bring or help us move through the sadness, dry our eyes, more quickly.
& that’s your daily bliss! which is a kind of lunar weather report. may it allow you to align with the day’s cosmic energy so you can find & create a little more bliss. may it inspire you to enlighten up a little more each day.
